The "love of money is the root of all evil" 1 Timothy 6:10
Yes, it creates a lot of problems like corruption and lust for power.
It also makes people treat others as 2nd class citizens as they will go through any means to become richer.

The Bible says that the LOVE of money is root of all evil, not that money is.

the love of money os the root. Money in itself is not. The abuse and obsession is.

No! it is false religion. By far and large. All the money donated to these big religious organizations that make them take over.
The leaders who talk to God for us are rich and powerful.

No religion is, but greed which is the bases of religion runs a close second.

It's the love of it. Not money itself...what can a piece of paper do by itself? it's what people become because of it.

not money, but "the love of money" which can lead to jealousy, envy, greed, sloth, pride, etc. etc. materialism produces a love of self and rejection of the lord Jesus Christ>
